Falling to Him

by Tamara Lyon, Anthony Scavone (Illustrator), Robin Willard/Wendy Gabrielle (Editor)

Eighteen-year-old Faryn is straddling two worlds---the constricted life of a Lutheran pastor's daughter and the exhilarating life of a young woman headed off to college, discovering the first bloom of her sexuality. Her mother Alyce straddles two worlds as well---keeping up appearances as a devoted preacher's wife, while struggling with her deeply neglected needs as a 38-year-old woman.

Alyce struggles with losing her daughter to college and her husband to an extended mission trip in Mexico. With an empty house and aching heart, she must suddenly face her growing attraction to Jacob, the handsome assistant pastor at her husband's church. Faryn longs to reinvent herself. She falls in love with an older man and makes reckless decisions that nearly destroy her.

Falling to Him explores the journey of both women as they come to terms with their primal needs, their hearts' desires, and their desperate longing to connect with God and the men in their lives.

"An erotic tale of growth and discovery. Falling to Him is fantastic!" Wendy Gabrielle, author of God says, "Go!"

About the author

Post-Traumatic Brazilian Wax Syndrome (May 2015 release) is loosely inspired by an unfortunate, painful event that occurred three years ago and is critically acclaimed author Tamara Lyon’s sixth novel. Her previous works include The Ugly Tree series, a Flamingnet Top Choice Award winner, 2011 Next Generation Indie Finalist, Eric Hoffer Finalist, and Midwest Book Award Finalist. In 2010 her novel, Fixing Forever Broken, earned an IPPY Award for romance. Lyon has taken her recent books in a decidedly chick-lit direction and creates characters and stories that are refreshingly and humorously real. She makes her home in Wisconsin with her talented husband, cycling-superstar son, and counter-surfing golden retriever, Macy.
